Integrated Data ProtectionThe correct protection for any service level.

Overview:

One size does not fit all

Your business has tiers of applications and data. The protection needs of those
application and data across a spectrum—starting with basic low cost daily backup,
and ranging up to zero data loss with zero downtime. Along the spectrum, compliance
requirements must also be met.

VCE believes customers are best served with a family of products that deliver precisely
the right level of protection for each business need. VCE further believes that customers
need a way to deploy and scale data protection in a manner that reduces overhead,
time, cost, and risk. To meet these needs, VCE developed the concept of integrated
data protection.

Integration Defined

Legacy data protection “bolted-on” to a new consolidated infrastructure may
work, but it is not optimum. A complete consolidated infrastructure includes truly
integrated data protection. It starts with architecting a best practice solution that
is designed to scale. The data protection system is then fully assembled in the VCE
factory, into VCE cabinets.

The data protection components are directly connected to the consolidated
infrastructure network and the network is configured before they ever leave the
factory. True integration also means customers receive support for the consolidated
infrastructure AND the data protection with just single phone call support.

VCE™ Integrated Data Protection offers a flexible family of solutions to allow a
choice of streamlined backup and recovery, data replication, business continuity,
and workload mobility to deliver reliable, predictable, and cost-effective availability
for VCE Consolidated Infrastructure platforms. In other words: The right level of data
protection for each service-level need.

Complete—End-to-end solutions
ranging from basic backup and
recovery to business continuity are
integrated and validated by VCE in
controlled environments prior to
delivery. This ensures timely, optimum
functionality and performance of the
data protection for each business
application.

Flexible—Manage risk by choosing
from cost-effective daily backups,
or continuous data replication with
flexible rollback options to better align
with desired recovery time objectives
and Recovery Point objectives (RTO,
RPO), or zero-data-loss business
continuity for applications that
demand continuous availability.

This makes VCE Integrated Data
Protection ideal for any organization
that is, or has made the transition from
disparate servers, network, and storage
to a VCE Consolidated Infrastructure.

Backup, Archive And Recovery

The VCE backup system is built upon the
industries best of breed products: EMC
Avamar and EMC Data Domain.

EMC Avamar plus Data Domain—
Avamar easily and efficiently manages
the backups while Data Domain easily
and efficiently deduplicates and stores
the backups. The result is a backup
data storage footprint that averages
10x to 30x smaller than traditional
backup, along with industry-leading high
reliability and unmatched scalability

The results

Reduce backup times by 90 percent

Speed recoveries by 30x

Up to 27x more scalable than
the nearest competitor

Average seven month payback

10-30x reduction in required
backup storage

Up to 99 percent reduction in required
bandwidth

Up to 81 percent reduction in time
spent on backup administration

Operational Recovery, Disater Recovery, and Migrations

Operational recovery from an application
crash should be efficient and pain-free.
Migration of applications and data from
a legacy server to a new consolidated
infrastructure should be easy. The ability
to recover from a site disaster should be
proven and low risk. EMC RecoverPoint
and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual
Machines are the right products for
comprehensive replication capabilities.

Continuous Availability And Mobility

EMC VPLEX

EMC VPLEX is a unique virtual storage
technology that enables mission-critical
applications to remain up and running
during a variety of scenarios that would
otherwise cause planned or unplanned
downtime scenarios. VPLEX delivers
data mobility and availability across
arrays and sites.

VPLEX permits painless, non-disruptive
data movement, taking technologies like
VMware and other clusters that were
built assuming a single storage instance
and enabling them to function across
arrays and across distance.

VPLEX also provides easy migrations,
workload re-balancing, and dynamic
upgrades of storage arrays. Users readily
appreciate the ease of using vMotion and
DRS to rebalance workloads between
arrays without the complexity and time
requirements of Storage vMotion and
Storage DRS, and the ability to nondisruptively
upgrade during normal
business hours.

VPLEX enables the ability to do workload
balancing or application migrations
across multiple VCE Systems and
across regional data centers, with zero
downtime during a workload transfer.

VCE Experience

VCE is a leading innovator of intelligent
converged infrastructure systems.
Customers rely on VCE Systems
for the fastest deployment of data
center infrastructure. VCE Systems
are engineered to deliver the highest
performance, operational simplicity, and
scalability for the lowest TCO.

Every System is a true converged
infrastructure—each is engineered,
manufactured, managed, supported, and
sustained as ONE product and includes
integrated data protection:

VCE’s integration of data protection
includes Professional Services to
deliver a fully operational solution in
the shortest possible time frame. Much
of the configuration work traditionally
performed at the customer site is
done at the VCE factory.

VCE Systems are standardized
architecture based on best-in-breed
technologies.

Every VCE System is pre-integrated,
tested, and validated in a VCE factory
environment, and delivered within
45 days as a prepackaged solution,
operational within hours of arrival.

System Management with VCE Vision™
Intelligent Operations is pre-installed
on all VCE Systems, providing a
near real-time perspective of your
system as a single object—to simplify
managing system configurations and
overall system health.

VCE Systems are sustained with
life cycle system reassurance.
VCE supplies the latest Release
Certification Matrix (RCM)—based
on pre-testing of a wide array of
upgrades and patches—to ensure
optimum system performance
across every hardware and software
component.

VCE engineering expertise delivers
application optimization. VCE
continually tests a range of customer
applications and use cases that
have been configured according to
industry best practices—to ensure
optimum application and workload
performance.
